"Why are you fighting? This is supposed to be a family dinner, not a rivalry dinner. And look at your mommy," he whispered so Mia couldn't hear their conversation. Gia and Maximo's heads instinctively turned toward their mom, but Alessandro tenderly held their checks, stopping them from looking at Mia.

"No, no, don't look at her," he corrected instantly in his hushed voice. He had to win the challenge. "She is very mad at me because she thinks you were fighting because I brought you all here. Do you want Mommy to fight with Dad?" he asked, his eyebrows wrinkled in worry.

Gia and Maximo both shook their heads.

"Good! Then don't fight." Alessandro pleaded gently. Both kids nodded in agreement. "Then we call it a truce Alessandro murmured, lifting a glass of juice. Gia and Maximo raised their glasses of juice and clinked them.

""Yes!" they echoed in agreement.

Mia watched them intently, desperate to hear what they were talking about, but the Italian don was very clever. He didn't let her hear a single word. "We're good!"Alessandro turned to face Mia and smirked winningly.

Mia knew what that smile,meant. But the good part was Gia and Maximo had stopped fighting. She would deal with the cunning mafia king later.

He was nice and polite. After dinner, Alessandro settled the bill and left a huge tip for the waiters. Then he drove Mia and the kids to Mia's apartment.

"Kids, it's time to say goodbye to Mr. Valentino," Mia said, prompting the kids to step out of the car.
